I got some nails in my TIRE. Did anyone else find some metal in their tires?

Good thing I got the Spare and Tire and Wheel service.

Hey guys. I'm Tim, some of you might remember me from the other day. It was a blast running with you guys and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics/vids that were taken.

I was pretty impressed that those of you even with highway tires got to have a good time and didn't end up too hung up.

Those of you that don't remember talking to me probably remember seeing my tube thing out on the trail.

You were the gunner, right? How is that beast doin? Chips fixed?

Had a few pics to post from the Cliffs run.

The line up
These were on trail 10.

The slot track.

Tight fit for the LC. That ARB bumper did its job well!

My brick in the clearing.

John's rig flexin

Brick is beautiful!

I wish I thought of getting some more pics but my mind was on driving and keeping the trail rash to a minimum.
This is what my slider looks like now.

WOW really Ill tell the staff. Please keep the nails we may need to see them!

Im glad everyone had a good time, the trails were in good shape and there was plenty of traction. Im glad to see I took some paint off some of those sliders

Honestly the sliders saved many of you around that root on 10.

I had a blast it was alot of fun spoting people through and trying to minimize body damage, it reminds me a simpler, and in many ways, more fun time.

When we lined up into groups right before trail 1 there was all kinds of crap on the ground from a "campfire" somebody had. It appears there were cabinets or something being burnt and there were a TON of nails.

I had a great time also and thanks to the trail team and other members. This was my 2nd time at the cliffs, much less muddy than in July.

Right in front of (actually to the left of it) that white LC you can see where the "fire" was.

4rnr · 10-22-2007, 10:30 AM

ok Ill tell tom, thanks!!!

I told Gumby to be careful because he parked right in front of it, maybe that is where his flat came from and not the beadlocks.

I have to get a hold of Craig Moates from Moates.net and get some more chips ordered up. They're only supposed to be able to be erased and re-burned a few times and apparently mine all decided to be used up at the same time. I'll get some more ordered up and all should be well. With that said, my truck ran pretty well (besides when one of my fuel injectors came unplugged, oops!) for the weekend and I'm happy. Once I lean it out, it'll idle a little smoother, but all that camshaft and huge heads make it more of a midrange motor than a crawler anyway (but you guys got to see me get into it a bit at the end of the day on that climb, all that midrange comes in handy).

I also managed to break the studs/u bolt on the passenger side front of the truck.

Apparently my front Dana 60 decided it didn't want to stay under the truck. The funny thing is that I didn't even notice until I was home and I spied the truck looking a little weird on the trail.
